06:43 – Hugo “Droopy” Contini – Sandu – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French jazz sandwich made with jazz bread and served with jazz flavoured crisps. Did I mention it’s jazzy? I’ve played this guy before but he sure knows how to play that horn. From Rawbouce Records.

10:38 – Gerador Zero – For X In *.wav; do – CC BY-SA Licensed – Great bit of electro I heard on CCHits Weekly Show. A Brazilian artist according to Jamendo. Very interesting track I thought. Love the dirty beat. Not sure about the programming joke in the title though.

18:01 – Paul & Storm – The Captain’s Wife’s Lament – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – From their 2007 album Gumbo Pants. They supported JC and I have to say this was pretty hilarious live. I didn’t know what to expect from these guys but they were very funny and Jon was crying with laughter for most of the show. You can buy the track on their website.

20:25 – LarG Productions – Reagan – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A funky bit of hip hop from Jamendo. I like the political angle as well, you won’t be surprised but I’m not fan of Ronald Reagan or the bogus war on drugs. From Vancouver, Canada.

26:18 – Bella Ruse – Push On – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Another great track I heard on CCHits. The singer’s style reminds me a little of Bjork as the song starts but it changes as it goes on. This is taken from the eponymously titled album on Jamendo. Not much artist info on there though. No link to eternal site, nationality or anything.

30:00 – Indigo78 – They Live – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – British artist from Wolverhampton, formerly the home of Linux podcasts. This is the opening track from The Autumn EP.

39:56 – 20lb Sounds – Makes No Sense (Live At The Cavern Club) – CC BY-SA Licensed – This is taken from a video of our Cavern Club gig last month. A fairly new song you may not have heard before. It’s short but sweet. Enjoy!

45:54 – Tenpenny Joke – Caroline – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Someone has been listening to Audioslave I think, but that’s no bad thing. I’ve played these Aussie rockers before, this track is from their album Ambush On All Sides.

56:20 – Jonathan Coulton – Tom Cruise Crazy – CC BY-NC Licensed – Talk about going to see the gig with Lucy and JonTheNiceGuy. Love this song. Surprised I haven’t played more JoCo on the show so far. A great CC musician doing well for himself and deservedly so.

06:50 – Lejo Harmeson & Essence – Complicated Man – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – Heard this on the CCHits weekly review show and liked it. Got to the site, listen to the shows and vote, we need people to participate!

15:41 – Partition 36 – The Optic Nerve – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – I played a track called “I Love Penguins” by this artist some time ago and this is a great follow up. Lovely slice of industrial sounding electro. Thanks to GamerChick02 for the tip.

21:38 – Derelict Earth – The Darkest Serenity – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A French metal band (from Grenoble), you don’t see many of those. They’ve obviously been listening to some early Metallica I think, and that’s no bad thing.

43:14 – LIVE TUNE – Medicine Man by Dan Lynch – A tune I wrote some years ago and I have a feeling I might have played it live on the show before. I only realised after I’d done it. Well never mind, people seemed to enjoy it anyway. I’m hoping to soon record an album of tunes like this that have gotten away over the years.

48:49 – ‘Til Dusk – One By One – License Unknown – Emailed to me by Chris from the band. They’re based in Southampton in the UK. This track is taken from their debut album Cold Lust which is released May 16th and you can find out more at www.tildusk.co.uk

57:59 – Dual Core – Magnificent Seven (feat Nerdcore) – All Rights Reserved- A big thanks to Mark Horsley for emailing this track to me. I’ve heard Dual Core a few times but not this track. It’s from the 2009 album Next Level which you can get on Bandcamp and other places and it features almost everyone in Nerdcore it seems. Beefy, MC Frontalot and more.

What Others Are Saying

Hey Dan! Just thought I might help with some info about Bella Ruse, as I’ve become a big fan since finding their album on Jamendo last year.

They’re a group (not a person) from Minnesota, and their website is http://www.bellaruse.com. They recently put out an album called “Kuhzoo”, and not surprisingly features that instrument in a couple of tracks. They’ve been pretty successful lately and have released a couple of neat videos.

The biggest venue they played recently I believe was one of the Lillith Fair shows.

@stephen – Thanks for the extra info. Luckily one of the listeners corrected me about this on the live show as well. It seems there’s loads of information about them online, it’s just not linked from Jamendo for some reason. I should have researched further though. Great band, look forward to investigating more of what they’ve done 🙂
